!!!!!IPDA!!!!!

As for the affirmative and negative,you really cannot go wrong with me in terms of what kinds of arguments I like or dislike as long as they are both reasonable and fair.That being said, I really enjoy out of the box arguments or those that have huge impacts. When it comes to weighing mechanisms just keep it simple, I'd rather hear more about the actual topic than the fw.

I'm pretty much chill with anything in the round, just be nice to one another and debate! :)?

I've judged and competed in debate for 7 years (LD and IPDA), so feel free to run any argument you want that is clearly altriculated and understandable.

However, since this is IPDA, please conform to the accepted conventions and usual argument forms of IPDA as closely as possible. I'm fine with speed (rate of talking that is faster than convo speed but noticeably less than spreading) and assertiveness in advocacy (so long as it does not cross the line into rudeness, abusiveness, or blanton unkindness towards your opponent.

I will judge the flow. Please make sure that your arguments are clear and intelligible. This is important to me. Weigh impacts.

Neg, refute and build. Weigh impacts.

Draw your arguments from quality source material. Equity, inclusivity, and diversity in your evidence is a plus. Be clear on the scope of your resolutions. I like to review sources.

Be respectful. Bad sportsmanship will lead to a reduction of points. Do not talk down to your opponents or judge.

If you get called on falsifying evidence I will drop you. Call out evidence you think is suspect and make the case for it.

I try to be as Tabula Rasa. 8 Years of competitive debate experience mostly Parli and IPDA but I have some LD and Pufo experience. Run whatever arguements you want but make sure they are logically supported.

SMU-Ben Voth - SMU

Treat your opponents with affirming respect. Pursue the educational value of debate as an ethic. I have judged debates for over 30 years in various formats. I look forward to hearing your voice on this matter. I like good research and good delivery.

Somer Shannon - A-State

IPDA Judge Philosophy

Hello, my name is Somer, Im a member of the debate team at Arkansas State University at Jonesboro. I have 6 years of debate experience. I'm a pretty traditional flow judge. The affirmative has the burden of proof and the responsibility of framing the round. The weighing mechanism needs to be extended throughout the round. I don't flow cross, whatever arguments you make there need to be extended in your next speech. Overall, I like a fun round
